TMZ.com quotes a source as saying that that after the interview Brown “freaked out, storming into his dressing room screaming so loud that the people in hair and make-up became alarmed and called security”.

Brown was then said to have “smashed a window in his dressing room”, ripped off his shirt and refused to do another performance he was scheduled to do for ABC.com.

Sources says that Brown confronted a producer and “got in his face and stared him down”.

The singer tweeted from Twitter.com/chrisbrown: “I’m so over people this past shit up! Yet we praise Charlie Sheen and other celebs for their bullshit.” He later deleted the tweet.
